one recently went on e bay for i think £23 ... i think thats where you will get a better price for it,this forum is good for selling but everybody is looking for a bargain price including me!

I gave one away in perfect condition as I didn't think they were worth anything.

I removed one from my (then) brand new Sharps Ace and fitted it to an Innova, I eventually sold the Innova and forgot to remove the sight

Hi John

The Sharp Ace sight it different too as it has a screw to fix it in the dovetail of the Ace.

I have NEVER seen a Sharp Ace rear sight in the flesh

I have a Sharp Victory rear sight that I happened upon by pure chance

The Ace rear sight with dovetail fixing screw must be valued at 50 quid these days...

You are a kind hearted soul old chap

A similar thing happened to me and I was the recipient

There will be others...

Hi Matt

The sight was a very simple folder steel one with a crude peep hole, My Ace was apparently one of the very last batches to enter these shores, I bought it new from Guns International at Stairfoot in Barnsley, the woodwork is a very plain, horrible maroon colour with no grain evident at all, it is in my favourite calibre though, the 'girly' 177 flavour

Hi John

I have copies of the original sales bumf for the Innova and Ace and although the sights are ostensibly the same the pictures in the brochure definitely show the Ace sight to have a fixing screw on one side which you tighten onto the dove tail.

I tried to fit an Innova rear sight to one of my Aces but of course it just slid up and down the dovetail.

Now I would like a .177 Ace but I missed one on here during the golf open...

At least with the colour of your gun you will blend in if you ever get stranded on a desert island... Marooned anyone?

Cheers

I thought you would have got over that by now Matty!
Can't see the point of knocking the cr*p out of a little ball just to get back to where you
started. :-)

Hi Matt

This is my Ace, I bought it in the late 90's (I think!- still have the receipt somewhere!), I can't remember how I swapped the sight over (galloping senility ) but i'm sure that my rear sight was a non adjustable, extremely simple thing, it seemed at the time like an afterthough

Has anyone got a pic of an Ace with a rearsight to jog my memory???


Cheers, John

[johnbaz]

Well!

I just googled images and found a pic straight away!!

My memory must have really had it as the peepy bit is the same but I just can't recall the rest of it at all
